West Ham are making progress in talks to sign a striker this January, its been reported by ExWHUEmployee.

Despite being in talks for some time for Brighton striker Evan Ferguson, who made a substitute appearance for the Seagulls in their 7-0 loss to Nottingham Forest today, Ex has revealed this is not the potential deal that is progressing.

“West Ham are making a lot of progress with the signing of Daniel Cummings of Celtic,” reported Ex on The West Ham Way Patreon. “We are looking to make a pre contractual agreement with Celtic so that he joins at the latest in the summer. There has been some talk however that we could look to conclude the deal this window

“The club have also continued talks with a player we exclusively revealed yesterday in Eli Junior Kroupi of Loreint. Talks are continuing although it is though that Loreint want at offers around the £35m mark which could be beyond what West Ham value the player.

“West Ham are still in for Evans Ferguson although no terms have been agreed snd there appears to be a bit of a stalemate at this stage. Ferguson is currently playing for Brighton as I write this and whilst the deal hasn’t been completed ruled out, it is proving tough. The club could turn to Kroupi instead if things cannot move further.”

Further updates are to follow as talks continue this transfer window.
